Tabletop Game Talk

We’ve all been there, someone finds out you like board games and the next question (after, they ask “like Monopoly?”) is What’s your favorite game? But there are many reasons that the answer to that question may not be as straightforward as it seems. We’ll look at those reasons, and we will discuss our favorite games, and some of yours, as well as why they are our favorites. Email us at feedback@TabletopGameTalk.com - for questions and feedback.

This week we’re talking about why games in our collections go unplayed. It’s easy to say there’s just not enough time, but is that the whole story? Why have games if you’re not going to play them? What can we do to get unplayed games to the table more often or should we even try? Have you asked yourself, does this game spark joy?

To help introduce Fletcher, in this episode we talk about what makes someone a casual gamer vs. another type of gamer.  And in doing so we take a look at ourselves and where we fit and why on the gamer spectrum.  Early on we find it's all relative and not so much a linear spectrum.
